Recap last year:

Wizard of Oz

Showcase needs to be different.  (West Newton) – needed different organization

VM – poster board Instagram project – wants to use more technology this year

TpT had unit on Wizard of Oz

Every school did something different

“Oz the Great and Powerful” is the closest movie to the book.

An extra set of hands to help with project would have been helpful.  (Classroom support) Parent volunteer is a possibility.

Work on unit during Reading Workshop (guided reading groups)

Doink – app with green screen to create movie

*Each student partner group creates a learning center based on one of the given Pearson topics (ex. task cards, game, scavenger hunt)

reCommunicate and revisit the eras and expectations
What went well?
Kids enjoyed and parents liked the interaction.
iPad usage supported kids needs

Can we have print shop copy the Westing Game packet? (after we update/modify things)

Possibly make a digital copy of the packet and add to Canvas.

Westing Game

Completed Steno book (needs to be tweaked) Could we get the "packet" printed from print shop?
Pages were lost, and it was very time consuming gluing everything in the Steno book.

Can we make the character sheets a little less specific? Maybe more like a graphic organizer...

The newspaper project worked very well with Andy Starnes' support.
